Especially in an training setting. It's important that new officials know that "on the floor", may, or may not, be the same as a player being fouled in the act of shooting. That "calling" a timeout involves both a request and a granting of such. That a "reach" may, or may not, be the same as an illegal use of hands. That "over the back" may, or may not, be the same as a push. Also, we better not be telling new officials to use the phrase "wait 'til hits the rim". As far as "endline" or "baseline", I really don't think it matters.
